What is Yerba Mate?
Yerba mate is a caffeinated herbal tea from South America, brewed from the leaves and stems of a subtropical tree in the holly family (Ilex paraguraiensis).
Good, Clean Energy
Yerba mate balances stimulation with B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for a sustained whole-body lift.
Yerba mate complements a healthy weight loss regimen by elevating metabolism and reducing appetite.
It also serves as a study aid, mood-booster, and healthy alternative to coffee.
Yerba Mate is Easy to Make
Loose yerba mate is easy to brew in a French press, tea pot, or coffee maker. We also provide tea bags that make it even simpler to experience yerba mate's "good, clean energy."
Taste the ECOTEAS Difference
We work in partnership with a five-generation organic family farm in Argentina to provide unsmoked yerba mate—dried with warm air instead of smoke for a lighter, cleaner flavor.
Thanks for stopping by! We hope ECOTEAS Yerba Mate becomes a healthful, delicious addition to your day.
Sincerely,
The ECOTEAS Team
Why Organic Yerba Mate?
We get it—organic yerba mate costs more.
Does it make a difference? Absolutely!
Many conventional yerba mate farms use herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers.
These chemicals pollute the soil, air, and creeks. They expose workers and communities to harmful long-term effects.
And they coat the yerba mate leaves, eventually ending up in your cup.
Our farm partners control weeds the old fashioned way—with hard work, sharp machetes, and care for the land they love.
They maintain soil productivity with mulching, intercropping, and reforestation.
Yes, organic yerba mate costs more. But we think it's worth it, and we hope you do, too.
Let's raise our mate cups to an organic future for everyone.
Why Unsmoked Yerba Mate?
Smoky. Bitter.
We've all heard the complaints from friends and family.
"Yerba mate is an acquired taste," we're quick to reassure them.
But what if it doesn't have to be? What if the first sip of yerba mate is smooth, clean and robust, as satisfying as it is energizing?
If you haven't tried our unsmoked yerba mate yet, you're in for a treat. All the clean energy, no smoky aftertaste.
Maybe you love that smoky flavor, reminding you of travels to Buenos Aires and Patagonia.
Still, you may want to give our unsmoked yerba mate a try.
Smoke byproducts aren't ideal for long-term consumption.
